One Of These Leaves Is Not Like The Others. Can You Spot The Difference?

Photorealistic drawings and paintings depict a subject rendered in such detail that the resulting drawing looks like a photo. It”s a demanding, time-consuming style to work in, it requires a lot of attention to the small things, and it takes a lot of practice to master.

Artist Dino Tomic can capture some pretty astounding detail. Whether it”s a human face or a still life, his drawings could easily be mistaken for photos — or for the real thing.

Here”s a little optical illusion for you. See if you can spot what”s going on here.

The moment of truth:

It”s this one. This “leaf” is actually a carefully rendered, photorealistic drawing.

Tomic created it by carefully studying a real leaf and capturing it in marker and colored pencil.
